Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!

The moribund mall was given a wrecking ball renovation in early 2013. Lowe's was left standing, along with the north mall section. Stores in the new & improved SHOPPES AT LATHAM CIRCLE began opening in mid-2015. Burlington (Coat Factory), who had operated in the mall between 1993 and 2012, did an encore.

The shuttering of J.C. Penney, in early 2014, caused the redevelopment plan to be changed. The vacant store and adjacent cinema were knocked down. An east-facing store strip (in light gray) was built. A final segment (in dark gray) is in the planning stages.
